Step back in time and experience one of Australia’s most iconic heritage railways on a half-day Puffing Billy tour.
Enjoy a journey on Puffing Billy through the scenic Dandenong Ranges from Belgrave to Lakeside, where you’ll have time to explore, take photos, and perhaps enjoy a bite at the picturesque Lakeside Visitor Centre.
Interactive displays and exhibits offer insights into the train’s origins, its early days as a goods transport line, and the dedicated efforts to preserve this beloved icon of Victorian heritage.
Return to Melbourne by early afternoon and enjoy an afternoon of leisure or add on our City Discovery Tour or Phillip Island Express Tour for even more adventure!
